Hi, I'm Michael Rose, a Harrogate-based technical project manager with 12 years' experience in the creative industry. Between contracts I design modern, impactful websites for local businesses.

Originally from Nottingham, UK, I began my career as a web designer and developer. A love of travel and new experiences took me to Sydney, Australia, where I worked at a startup digital production agency - strengthening my design skills and getting my first glimpse into project management.

After further travels, I returned home to continue my career and was soon offered an exciting opportunity to become a shareholder in a marketing agency serving financial advisers - a business we grew significantly over six years.

Following a successful exit, I moved to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where I spent a couple of years contracting in various roles before setting off on more adventures across South America.

I’ve since returned to the UK and now live in Harrogate, where I’ve jumped back into contracting and other personal projects. Alongside this, I continue to pursue my passion for designing websites for local businesses in Yorkshire.
